Firewatch I was merely answering your question. The second part was meant for Clark pushing cougar to talk about the work program. You don’t have to go all keyboard symbol on me. From what I know he is a product of Catholic schools and is a very good student but played youth in Akron city.

Back to the thread, after looking at this young man’s hudl film I think he will play defense. Hoban also lost big in the defensive backfield and will have talent but will lack game experience at the corner apot next year. He can also fill some of the void left by Houser.

RickKnight, this young man is not going to play RB. Hoban backs are 200 plus lbs and run a true 4.5. Getting yards against Orville is a far cry from the 9 catholic teams Hoban will play. This young man will see the field but probably in a position he can actually play in college. If he chooses to attend Hoban he knows that going in.

Since our friends from across town have never done anything wrong then doing it better is fine with me. I am glad we cleared this up today. The other threads can learn from our overly mature tone and ability to work together with reason and understanding. One again we are making progress and can stay out of Clark’s toilet.

First things first. Bobby77, from one Catholic school guy to another, you have no clue. That goes for football, talent, or recruiting. You just have no idea and you prove it with every post. I could explain myself, but you will never understand. Leave the thinking to the adults. Just go to your Hoban games and enjoy your victories.

Secondly, the Wright kid is staying at Manchester. He was being courted by every private school and a few publics (Yes you Massillon and Buchtel) in Summit, Stark, and Cuyahoga Counties including my own alma mater (Don't know what that is, look up some of my past posts but I wish we could have got him). He will not play QB at Manchester. They do not need him to play QB. All they need to do is hand off to him.

Thirdly, he is being recruited by every school in the Big Ten, the MAC, the ACC, and by many schools in every other major conference including the SEC (Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, LSU) , the Big 12 (Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State) and the PAC 12 (Washington, Washington State, Arizona, UCLA). They have already found him. He does not need to be discovered. He is being projected as a slot/WR in college unless he can put on 20 pounds of muscle without losing speed. How do I know? Because it is my business to know.

With him at RB and the other weapons Manchester has they will be the odds on favorite to win their region next year. Anyone who knows my history and how I feel about Manchester knows that is not what I usually say. I just can not stand anymore stupid posts by people who do not know.

He is from Akron and is a product of Catholic grade/middle school I believe. I think St Paul???

Not sure what the obsession is with how these kids get their school paid for. Work programs or financial aid, who cares.

He's a product of the Manchester Local School District and has attended Manchester schools since at least middle school.

I, and every other Manchester poster will remind you of this the first time you post otherwise, and you know you will post otherwise.

As for being recruited, I have heard similar stories about him being recruited by several big programs. Manchester also has at least two other Division I college caliber kids who are being recruited. Three kids of that talent level on a Division V roster usually means good things because the pool of talent at that level means they can often control a game.

Stizo, you are almost 100% correct. First, he isn't leaving because Hoban told him no Defense and WR only. Secondly, they didn't want to relo and when they found out he had to sit 1/2 of every sport, it made the decision easier. Yea, I know, why didn't dad check on the eligibility rules 1st? Because stars were in his eyes. There has been NO CONVERSATION with the Manchester Coaches about him playing QB. It was a pure assumption on him and daddy's part. With #34 & #5 back they will not be hurting for offensive threats and #5 is a threat to score on Special Teams every time. FYI, they have a kid who played JV QB back and #34 also can play QB. Their line will be very good and with a new Defensive Coordinator the D should be much improved. Thus, I hope your predictions are true.

Probably best that he stay where he is. There he can play both ways, every special team. Carry the ball 30-40 times a game and rush for 2000 yards for the season. Most of the kids at Hoban do not Play both ways because they don’t have to. It keeps them pretty healthy for those long playoff runs. With all of those offers coming he should stay where he is. No need to play against some of the top teams in the state. If Hoban told him that he would only play WR that says a lot. Most schools who are stealing kids from public’s would have told him anything he wanted to hear in order to get him to the dark side. Tells me that Hoban was not heavily recruiting anyone but that he was being shopped around by his family.

Oh and Hoban had 2 more players offered by Michigan this week bringing the number to 3 who hold offers from the big Blue. Also Dartmouth offered 2 other kids in the past week who already hold multiple D1 offers. Yes it is better for him to stay where he is and make his hometown proud.
